"Art Bead Scene" February Monthly challenge (Украшение по заданию)

Hello dear friends,
It's time to reveal what I've created for the February Monthly Challenge at the Art Bead Scene Blog.
"The Two Crowns" (1900) painting by Sir Frank Dicksee was chosen to inspire us for the challenge:

The first thing that struck me was this beautiful white horse at the center of the painting. It's hard to miss. Another thing I was drawn to was all the gold: the armor of the prince, the crown, and also gold discs on the horse's harness. And lastly, I loved the pink and fuchsia colors of rose petals, and also flower wreaths on the ladies.
About my bracelet: The Art Bead: I searched Etsy for a "horse bead" and found this unique ceramic bracelet focal by Beadfreaky.
The rest of the beads and a cord are from Michaels. The turquoise glass beads are from my stash.
